If I am not wrong didn't we find a way to upgrade ?
I thought some body found a way to do it right ?

I have been real rusty these days have to re instate SLI work and see if I can get around with the HUD upgrade. Hopefully there will be TSB soon for some software fix.

Dreamcar, you lost me. I'm not talking about a HUD upgrade per se', rather a few new features that were included in the 47.x release. These can be had for all HUD users if they upgrade to 47.x. The new CIC/ Navigation system is what can't be upgraded via firmware / software. That will require a whole new CIC Head Unit and HU_NBT Module, but this has no bearing on the HUD.

By HUD upgrade I mean the additional features.
I was referring to 47.4 update with out the dealer.
Anyways let me check if we discussed it here if not I have try talking in my dealer.

is there a chance to program my car with 47.x myself without contact the dealer.

any instruction or possibility to get these update without 100 bottles of scotch ?

I say program the car because that is how ISTA/P works. It doesn't target single ECU's. It evaluates all ECU's and brings the car up to the current Integration Level, upgrading only those ECU's with newer firmware that need it. You could program the car yourself; however, you would need a virtualized / stand alone version of ISTA/P, an ICOM interface ($$$$$), and a car charger.

For just these new features though, programming is a bit overkill. All that is needed is to update the KOMBI firmware only. You can flash ECU firmware in E-Sys; however, it is not well understood or documented. Malcolm (user mjgood) did flash the firmware on his Combox and CIC using E-Sys in order to get 6NR BMW Apps capability. Apart from him, I have yet to hear of anyone else doing it with E-Sys. I think the E-Sys TAL took about two hours to flash his CIC running over an ENET cable.

Does your car have option 6VC (Combox)? I am guessing not. And do you have CMB_MEDIA and CMB_ECALL ECU's showing in E-Sys?

Also, what is your Bluetooth option? I am guessing instead of 639 and 6FL you have only 6NL?

Lastly, were you able to code and get working the Turn Signals in your HUD?

I am not sure if I have the 6VC, 639, 6FL or 6NL (how would i check this?). I posted a screenshot in the 2013 F10 psdzdata thread showing all of the modules that I have (http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/att...1&d=1346019985). CMB_MEDIA and CMB_ECALL ECUs are not showing up for me.

I posted to the other thread, but I wasn't able to get the HUD turn signals working either.

After driving around with this new feature activated I can safely say its increased the HUD's usability 10 fold. If you don't have the navigation on the HUD just shows you how fast you are going. While cool its novelty wears off pretty fast. Now with this i actually look at the HUD a lot more.

Great, let me know if there is any way I can help. I've got pretty much everything on my 535i except night vision. I assume that it is just a regular battery charger to keep the car going while the system is reflashed? Any recomendations?

Best,

Andrew

I had my car (528i Feb 2011 build) programmed with the latest software i-step F010-12-07-520. I am not sure the equivalent ISTA/P version is, but I suspect it will be 47.x.

I was able to successfully code the radio menu and telephone options in the HUD, as mentioned in post #1 by coding the KOMBI module Section 3000
- HUD_ENTERTAINMENT_ENABLE to aktiv (enables radio menu)
- HUD_TELEFONANRUF_ENABLE to aktiv (enables recent calls list to be displayed)
Both options exist in the KOMBI Module after the software update (they did not exist in the older version).

However, I was unable to locate HUD_ENTERTAINMENTLIST in the HU_CIC module.
Not a concern, as I still get the functionality in the HUD. I am very happy with this

Where did you identify F010-12-07-520?

Did you get this from E-Sys VCM Current I-Step, and can you confirm this is the Integration Level Reported there? The 520 is puzzling, as for F10 chassis, all I have seen from 7/12 is 531, 532, and 533. In fact, I don't even see a 520 for any other chassis either.

Good pick-up. I checked the integration level again and it is actually F010-12-07-532. I am not sure where I got the 520 from
